lyrics

She felt like a ghost town boarded up and burned out
A small town girl population one
She left California where if they don't know ya
They send you right back to where you came from
But Daddy's girl didn't care that she had her mama's stare
And a middle finger like her Aunt Peggy Sue's
She took her Uncle's Ford and put her foot to the floor
Opened it up and drove straight on through

To Ashland, Ashland
No one ain't someone until they are free
We all end up burning what we love
And my sweet Dorothy loved gasoline

It was July 4 th and we fell in love of course
It was the summer I did my best to quit smoking
But the sun was a dying flashlight in a room painted off-white
And no one went outside for fear of choking
Oh, BLM claimed it was going to be a bad one
No one could remember forest fires like this
And newspapers were littered with air quality warnings
But I didn't care when she blew me a kiss

In Ashland, Ashland
No one can hold a candle to thee
We all end up burning what we love
And my sweet Dorothy loved gasoline

Late one night she crept out and turned on the gas
And left me to a never ending dream
But I should have known better when earlier that summer
The fire danger needle was on the extreme
But the roads were closed because of some stupid robber
Held up and robbed an end of the highway town bank
And when a shield stopped her and asked where she was headed
She only had one word to say

Ashland, Ashland
I'm as sorry as a broken heart can be
We all end up burning what we love
And my sweet Dorothy loved gasoline
